Decision details

The Local Strategic Partnership Board

AGREED        that the following recommendations be implemented at the three Neighbourhood Panels that have been consulted to date:

A)                 To include a definition of community safety on neighbourhood panel agendas and include these topics specifically in panel terms of reference to be published on the District Council’s website, with copies available at all meetings.

B)                 To reflect partnership working in panel branding and ensure Local Strategic Partnership and Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership banner pop-ups are displayed at each meeting.

C)                To include a regular agenda item of Local Consultations at Neighbourhood Panels, which will enable partners to highlight and/or present consultations as appropriate.

D)                To suggest that relevant partners consider alternative methods of involving residents in discussions and/or decisions about community and youth facilities.

E)                 To ensure wider advertising of panel meetings in parish magazines and on the District Council’s website, plus posters with a year of dates in local venues (updated in January each year).

F)                 To review the Linton Neighbourhood Panel boundary in order to try to address the “inconvenient” nature of the geography (i.e. Horningsea), which is reflected in the consultation findings as well as attendance at panel meetings.
